Another tail, Raina?
No, she sent it to Raven to get it taken in and a dorsal added. :P
I want another tail so bad though too haha, but I'm saving to get Mermaid Ama her own tail made. She borrows my mermaid creations one, but the monofin is too big for her feet. Plus, it was made to my measurements. She'd really like a purple merbellas, so I gotta buy that first haha.
Oh, very cool :) I can't wait to see the new dorsal :)
If I didn't know you and Ama are so much tinier than me, I'd offer to by your mermaid creations one to help you get a merbella tail for Ama. Too bad you're both so tiny. :P ;) <3
haha aww thanks. I don't plan on selling it though! :D just to continue adding more tails so I can hire more mermaids :D
Ah! Smart.

I'm so happy for all of you! Please post pictures when you can!
Has anyone noticed on the Merbellas instagram that there is a user spamming her photos for an order? I understand really wanting a product from Raven I mean who wouldn't but I wish there was something to be done about users who dont look to she if she is takig offers or not. I guess I'm just protective because Raven deserves to be treated with respect not be demanded to do things or be spammed especially when she is sick :(
I get spammed like that, so I imagine as an actual tail maker, she gets insanely spammed. I've seen some of it before, so nuts!
Merbellas...tus colas es muy hermosas. Felicidades. tu originalidad....Tops, colores de colas. Tu trabajo es una gran inspiración. Espero que sigas así y crear más cosas.
¡Las colas de Raven son muy hermosas! Quiero una también, pero tengo que esperar hasta que hay el dinero suficiente. Son muy caro porque el talento de Raven merece todo el dinero. Voy a tener una cola de neopreno hecha por Shelly este verano. Ella es fantástica también.
any more news lately? Did any mer recieved ther new tail or pictures from it before shipping? :) Mine is 18 days to go!
I got an email about shipping with a tracking number, checked the number and my tail should arrive tomorrow! :)
Good luck Freshwater! :) Post pictures!
Still nothing on my side... I'm a little disappointed, I don't know what's going on. I don't want to message her and sound like a nag because I know she's been sick though... I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place...
Edit: Nevermind! She just sent me the tracking out of nowhere! She shipped it a while back but forgot to give it to me it seemed. IT'S SO CLOSE YOU GUYS IT'LL BE HERE LIKE TOMORROW MAYBE OMG.
Eeep! So excited for all of you getting tails...which also means she is that much closer to taking more orders. Yay! Anyhow, can't wait to see pictures of y'all's tails :)
She stayed up all night taking in my tail and going crazy on it :D I told her to get some photos in it, because when she first made it she did so I think it would be a cool juxtaposition. I did pay her a bunch to rush fix it and rush ship it, but I certainly didn't expect her to stay up all night lol. I think she just got going and then was like BAM.
Also my BF and I did the math, I have worn this tail almost 100 times! She couldn't believe how well it was holding up!
It's crazy! I can't wait to see your tail when it's all done. <3
Omg omg omg omg omg she posted pictures to her instagram of an angler!!! I think its mine..cant get too exctied..but I think its mine..but what if its not?? Gaaaah anticipation..im dying over here!
Link? D:
Instagram doesn't let you just 'save' a photo..dumb so I hope this link works

Also the merbellas scales are the same colors as mine the only throw off is the fluke doesn't have gold on it. But maybe she hasn't gotten to it yet? haha I just keep spinning myself in circles ^_^;
WOW! She updates that a lot more than the Facebook. Thanks! <3 I just saw the one I think you're talking about...she probably just hasn't gotten to the gold yet!
OOh, I just saw the bracers! http://instagram.com/p/Yiz-L1ogfq/
Wow, the plain scales look gorgeous too! Especially on the blue pair. Hehe, I wonder if any of these are mine? EEE. Still though, I LOVE your design and can't wait to see it! I bet that one is yours, mostly because you put a rush order on it and you've been waiting a fairly good bit already.
So much wonderful news!! (Tails get shipped etc) And if any mers are intrested, please follow me on IG: Ariel_Starfish
Got my tail today!! I can't for the life of me get it on though :P I can't get my left foot in the foot strap! I tried to tie string to it but that didn't work.
Lube up your other leg with baby oil. Just be sure to wash it out when you're done. Monofins are hard to get on inside a tail, the first couple tries are terrible, but you'll get used to it and be getting it up super fast in no time flat.Quote:

Also, Raven's air compressor she uses to paint the tails died on her today from too much use! So she has to replace it. :/
Aw that sucks! And Raven told me to try a thick strap for the fin pocket which I will try after work :) I tried to put it on with tights on and just put lotion on my feet but which do you think works better the lotion or the tights?
I hope you can get it on^^^^ And please when you do pictures
Ouch for Raven! She uses the airbrush for spots but handpaints the rest, doesn't she, or am I remembering wrong?
is yours full silicone? tights will only make it impossible unless they're wet :p
I did it with tights on in my studio a couple times, and once with out. Honestly, both was so hard (out of water) my helper & I weren't sure what worked better. I'd do a test of both, but if you do no tights.. use a lube for full silicone tail, as Raina also suggests. :) Good luck gettin' in your fins!
She has a partial basic, so I'm sure Mizuko or the Mermaidens will offer you the best, experienced help.
GUYS I OPENED IT AND GUYS IT'S FANTASTIC AND I TOOK A VIDEO AND PICTURES OMG YOU GUYS!
Post em!!!!!!
Omg you guys. <3 Sorry if they're huge! >.<
